The meeting ended quickly, we just finalized the location for the team building, the budget to allocate, the number of days, and the food to bring. We also included games and who would be in each group. Since it’s a team building, we drew lots to determine the groups, and the people in your group will also be your group during the outing, and guess what, you’re with— “Hey, lucky you! You’re with hunk Jaxon, don’t drool, or I’ll sue you!” I rolled my eyes at my friend’s comment, she’s really something. I sighed and looked again at the paper I’m holding, why is life like this? The ones you want to avoid are the ones closest to you, it’s really annoying. I don’t want to remember everything, but why does it have to be like this? Why us? We’re not just in the same group, we’re also sharing a tent, Wtf? I just went back to my table and organized my things, I have no intention of working overtime today, I just want to rest, I feel really bad, my head hurts, I’ve been sleep-deprived for d

“Is everyone here?” President asked us, he also joined our team building today, “Okay, let’s do the head count.” He said, and we started the headcount.There are forty-three of us in total, from three departments, the meeting place is in front of the company, and the meeting time is three o’clock, luckily almost no one was late, except me of course, it seems like it’s my hobby to be late, I just can’t seem to be at ease if I’m not late for any of my appointments. I just laughed at what I said, I really seem crazy with what I’m doing.We chose Zambales for our team building, I’m not very familiar with it even when I used to live here in Zambales, I was mostly just at home and school, I wasn’t in the mood to go out, it was rare, because I don’t usually go this far, so I’m somehow excited. I’ll be able to rest too.I put on my sunglasses before we got out of the van, our trip took about four hours from the company to here, and it wasn’t really that tiring, we rented a van that knows the

“Okay, I guess everyone’s full now? Especially you, Elara?” Everyone laughed at what Pres said, I just smirked and bowed my head. I ate the most, I was the first and last to go out to the field, it’s delicious, and I was hungry, I didn’t have breakfast so I made up for it, oh well. “For today, we will be having our first activity, just a warm-up, so don’t worry, for those who are competitive, you can make up for it tomorrow, for now, let’s just chill, so by pair—oh, do we have a pair of new recruits already? Speedy, huh.” Everyone laughed so I looked back to find him because I was facing the front, I almost fell when I saw him behind me, grinning like a fool and leaning on me. “Okay, I got distracted by this handsome guy, the first game will be ‘drawing.’ Okay, okay, before you complain, hold on.” Everyone laughed again, Pres really likes to chat. “Okay, this game will be played by pairs, in this game, you will be needing a whiteboard or a blank flip chart page.” He handed each of

“Hey, they said it’s time to eat, let’s go out.” Alex pulled me, Jaycee was with him, both of them had big grins on their faces, so I just rolled my eyes at them. After the game earlier, we agreed to go around, but I didn’t really go around, I just took pictures of the places we passed by. “What was that earlier, huh? Mr. Handsome was giving you kisses!” Alex teased, so I elbowed him. “Ouch!! That hurts, you witch!” He shouted and pulled my hair. “I love you, Ahhhhhhhh!!! Creepy!! Your panties are wet!” JC teased, even though I was annoyed, I still laughed, JC was always like this, no filter, embarrassing, someone might hear us while we’re walking. “But seriously, why are you avoiding each other when it’s obvious that you have a past? Are you playing hard to get? Do you think you’re pretty?” He said and playfully pulled my hair, so I slapped him and pushed him away, “Ouch, you’re so mean! Don’t tell me you think you’re prettier than me!” This guy won’t stop. “So, what’s the catch?” T

I stepped back to distance myself from him. I didn’t know what to say, contemplating whether to just leave or continue the conversation. I turned away and started walking, but he didn’t follow or speak. It seemed like he was used to me doing this, which made me feel even more guilty. I couldn’t move further, so I stopped and faced him. He was still leaning against the wall where he was earlier.“Um, do you want to take a walk?” I didn’t know what else to say! “But wait, hey!” He suddenly pulled me out.I didn’t know where he was taking me, but knowing Jaxon, he wouldn’t put me in danger, so I just let him lead me. We stopped near the shore, almost at the edge. He guided me to sit on a high rock. I smiled because I could clearly see the sea and the moon from here. It was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. Scenes like this never get old for me; I could stare at them every night, and it would be fine by me.“Why did we come here?” I asked. Weren’t we supposed to take a walk?“After the g

I woke up in a room that was almost dark, and I also felt the softness of where I was lying down. What happened? I stood up immediately, remembering what happened last night. I touched myself, “Wait, is that a dream? Aren’t the things that happened last night real? Why does it feel real? Wait, what’s not real there? Is it being with Jaxon or the gunshots? I was interrupted in my thoughts when the door opened. Jaxon came in, and what he was holding in his hand caught my eye. “How are you feeling now?” Wait, why is he asking, and I just noticed that I’m not in my room, or in the room on our site. “Why are we here?” I asked him, “and what happened to your hand? Why do you have a bandage?” His expression didn’t change, as if he expected that to be my reaction. “We took you to the nearest hospital.” I paused and furrowed my brows as I looked at him, “You mean, last night, what happened last night.” I didn’t finish what I was going to say because I felt tears falling one after the ot

“Let’s play, guys! Two lies and one truth.” Kriza started, she’s from the Accounting department and always energetic. Jc gets annoyed with her because he thinks she has a crush on him, but I just laugh. She always rolls her eyes at him, but Kriza just laughs it off. She’s used to it, and I don’t think she’s really annoyed anymore. “Let’s start with Anj,” she said. Anj is in the same department as Jaxon, she’s quiet, but when she speaks, she always makes a point. “Okay, Anj, two lies one truth.”“Hmm,” She looked up at the sky while thinking. “I’m a lesbian, I’m rich, I’m a mistress.”“You’re a lesbian!” Jaycee shouted, so we all laughed. “No wonder you look at me differently, you like me, huh?”“Shut up, Jacoba Carlo!” Jaycee’s eyes widened, so we almost died laughing. He’s allergic to his real name, he doesn’t want to remember that incident, he said it was the ugliest thing that ever happened to him. “Well?” he turned to us, so I also thought.“Hmm, I think being a lesbian and a mist

“Sir, everything is ready. We have gathered fifty-eight women for the auction tonight, and all the equipment is with Team B.” He handed me a paper containing a list of the guests we are expecting at the auction. “We have to lay low for the time being, as the police are eagerly looking for us. But in two weeks, we are expecting another batch of women for the next auction in Vietnam.” I nodded while reading what was on the paper. I’ve been too busy hiding, so I’ve been overwhelmed with orders. I heard Alpha was looking for us, and he’s on a new mission, but until now, I still don’t know who he is. Damn it, that man is something else. He’s so careful with his identity, we don’t even know if he’s a man or a woman. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. I’ve been looking for him for a long time, and now we’re almost at a dead end. At first, I didn’t care about him, he’s just like the agents trying to find us, they all end up six feet under. But him, I don’t know, he’s stressing me

But just as he reached for the doorknob, his mother’s voice echoed through the hallway.“Sin! Can you come here for a moment?”He froze, knowing that tone all too well.
